The founding team of kuafu contributed to work that shows how electric cars and heat pumps can help Switzerland implement its Energy Strategy. The Energy Science Center of ETH Zurich, Christian Schaffner and Siobhan Powell led the work.

kuafu is a spin-off from the SWEET PATHFNDR project. Together, we develop intelligent demand-side management. It connects buildings, mobility and heat to support a low-carbon and resilient energy system.

Hanmin Cai and Federica Bellizio took part for kuafu, with the Urban Energy Systems Laboratory of Empa.
